Ugly Duck (under tow by Kingfisher) eastbound exiting Cape Cod Canal.
Like Kingfisher, she has some unusual gear. I wonder if the two boats work
in tandem?

They probably work together, running a net around a school of bait fish
then close the net in, smaller and smaller. The Kingfisher might suck
the bait up and dump them into the hold. That basket attached to the
black boom might be for scooping out bigger fish caught up in the net.
Just a guess from watching trap boats fish in Narragansett Bay.
